important news about Racism
A screenshot of a YouTube notifications window. The two video listings under the "Important" header are: Hank Green uploaded: Slavery was Racist; SkeletonHoney uploaded: IVY is RACIST. The latter is adorned with a hand drawn thumbnail of the character Ivy from the online multiplayer game Deadlock.

painted over a friend's photo for fun! #haida #aggretsuko
A digitally-edited photograph of a blurry road, taken at night. A lamp in the background fires off beams of light. In the foreground, Haida from Aggretsuko is painted, mid-stride, swinging his bass guitar's case behind him. Several statements are written over the image: "this hyena lives in my head rent-free"; "don't do drugs kids"; and "three bedrooms in a good neighborhood / on fire like a margherita made out of wood" (lyrics to the Death Grips song "Three Bedrooms in a Good Neighborhood"). The same digitally-edited photo as described previously, but without the overlaid type.

you should stretch your wrists every day. super simple to do, and will almost certainly help with wrist/hand/finger problems.

Ive had pain & stiffness in my wrists, and numbing in my ring & middle fingers; arm and wrist stretches completely got rid of it

A screenshot of a code comment. "Do not lose the below regex pattern it was so fucked up and arcane to even get working in the first place rahhhh". The comment concludes, "you have been warned."

Two work in progress drawings for MEDSTRAT! @hmlca.bsky.social ⚔️🐀🐕
#oc #ocsky #medstratgame #hauntingmachine
A black and white illustration of a medieval warrior with the head of a barking dog. The warrior wears a Germanic helmet adorned with two feathers. A dancing zoomorphic man in the style of ancient Hellenic black figure pottery. The man has the head of a rat, and his muscular back is turned toward the camera. He looks at the viewer, head in profile, a single eye staring outward.

Hot day at the kiln with my awesome friend, Ira! #makeaterriblecomicday2025
A black and white sharpie comic consisting of vignettes depicting a salt kiln. "Ceramics & nature day with Chance and Ira!" / "Ira has been an incredible host during this trip to Wisconsin and I'm very thankful for all they do." / "They keep saying to me, 'sorry it's been so busy this trip.' Ira, your presence is like sun on my skin." / "Being here with you is more than enough. I love you dearly!" / "Happy bday, Ira!"

Mockup sketches from my recent game dev efforts :]
Project Medstrat concept art of a loosely-sketched, imagined gameplay scene. Three troop units are visible; the selected unit's allowed movement is also highlighted. In the upper right, a turn order queue is suggested. A concept drawing from development of the game Turk's Crawling Dungeon. Turk stands in the center of the frame, flanked by an obsidian structure and a sinister-looking figure in a black cloak.

Self-portraits, March 13, 2025 & April 9, 2025. 😋👤🌈
An abstract digital self portrait consisting of slashes of color: dark blues; cerulean; vibrant oranges and reds. Nestled in the upper left of the tangle of brush-strokes is an eyeball. Digital self-portrait; a deconstructed face, pulled apart. Navy blue and teal frame orange flesh tones. An eye, nose, and ear are suggested with blended marks.

Working on a drawing of Turk, since I'm fixing up Turk's Crawling Dungeon to re-release on itch 🐱 Soon you, too, may play as a sad blue naked cat in a sad psychic dungeon 💙
An unfinished digital painting of an anthropomorphic blue cat named Turk. Turk stands, fearful, before a surreal visage of himself. In his hands are a lantern and a sword.

Decided to finally do the second pass on this WIP "Glory & the Sound of Thunder" (my story about war) painting.

I've been trying to challenge myself more and more with color/lighting/composition ⛈️🔥

Working more on this concept painting for Project Medstrat: medieval bisexual eyebeam hypnosis continues! (Based on the piece "Hypnosis" by German painter Sascha Schneider) 🐱🐀🌈
A series of drawings, each a stage in the life cycle of a single painting. The painting, a digital rendition, is of two medieval people, depicted as anthropomorphic animals (a cat, and a rat). From left to right, the image is filled in and retouched. The work is still unfinished, but now includes a background and re-worked lighting as the composition takes form.

(CW: implied corpse) "Police sketch of unidentified remains", April 2023, mixed media charcoal, masking fluid, and digital.
A mixed-media charcoal drawing of an uncannily-rendered anthropomorphic feline. The drawing appears to be a recreation from a set of remains in the custody of law enforcement. The implication is that Turk has suffered a "game over", with his body, as of yet, unidentified.
